Saros Series of Solar Eclipses

Solar Eclipses in Saros Series 121

This page lists all the solar eclipses in saros series 121. The series contains 71 eclipses, occurring over 1262 years.

The following chart shows the paths of the
total (in blue),
annular (in red), and
hybrid (in yellow) solar eclipses in the series which also have
mapping data; this is restricted to eclipses between 1900
and 2100, so only a selection of eclipses from
the series are shown. Use the
zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over
the marker in the middle of an eclipse track to see
information on that eclipse. Bear in mind that for
each eclipse shown, a partial eclipse is visible over
a much wider area.

The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 38 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a path up to 106 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing, and was visible from south-western and south-eastern Australia. The partial eclipse was visible across Australia and New Zealand.

A large annular eclipse covered 97% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 278 km wide at maximum; it lasted 1 minute and 42 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.

The Sun was 97% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 2 minutes and 12 seconds and covering a very broad path, 444 km wide at maximum. It was visible from Antarctica and the extreme south Pacific.

The Sun will be 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 2 minutes and 20 seconds and covering a very broad path, 616 km wide at maximum. It will be visible from a small region in Antarctica. The partial eclipse will be visible over Antarctica and south-eastern Africa.
